| Milk Carton Kids Richard, I became aware of The Milk Carton Kids when watching the documentary filmed of the recording of the New Basement Tapes album, and immediately loved them. I put them in my notebook of albums to get, but before getting around to doing so ag... | |
| High level speaker amp out to RCA High-level power amp output hookup to a sub being superior to line-level hookup is a debatable contention. Brian Ding, designer and maker of the Rythmik Audio subs, provides both on his models which contain either the A370 or H600 (non-XLR version... | |
| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? What ever player you decide on, getting it from a retailer skilled in turntable/arm/cartridge assembly and set-up/adjustment/optimization is a real good idea. | |
| Help with subwoofer implementation Some of the Rythmik subs offer high-level (power amp output) inputs, as does REL. | |
| Bought a Cary 120S MK2 The EAR 868L has two pair of balanced outs (and two single ended), but is more $ (commonly around $3000). | |
| MAC Autoformers? Roger, I'll ask the following for myself, but your answer may well be of interest to others. You rate your RM-200 Mk.2 amp at about 100w/ch at 8 ohms, and, unlike a "normal" tube amp, about the same at 4 ohms. The advantage of using the 4 ohm tap ... | |
| Converting Mark Levinson 331's to monoblocks You may want to consider doing a vertical bi-amp of the ET LFT-8's with the two ML331's. | |
| MAC Autoformers? I know BIF, Roger doesn’t look any different than a regular guy, but damn! It’s humbling to listen to him talk about amplifier design; I wonder how anyone can have so much knowledge in a normal-sized head. I talked to Bill Johnson a few times, and... | |
| Magnepan 3.6 or 3.7 Magnepan has switched glue twice. The first time it cured the problem of delamination due to excessive UV light. But the problem of delamination due to excessive moisture remained until 2005, when Magnepan switched to 3M 30NF. It is available from... | |
| MAC Autoformers? I posted this on the thread Roger (ramtubes) started to discuss transformers, but thought I would do it here as well.Roger gave a 90 minute talk on tube amp design at the 2015 Burning Amp Festival. If you own a tube amp, or are thinking of getting... | |

| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker Roger, It’s great to have you contributing here on AudiogoN. I really miss your AudioCircle Forum! We met twice when you came to Brooks Berdan’s shop in Monrovia to give talks. The first time, I was the long-hair who asked you why you recommended ... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker realdeal, you're embarrassing yourself. | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker There is a current thread here on AudiogoN from a guy who took two pair of LFT-8b's and "stacked" them. Each 8b speaker is comprised of a 1' w x 4' h panel containing two LFT "midrange" drivers (180Hz-10kHz) and one ribbon tweeter (10kHz up), and ... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker Note to people who love the sound of both magnetic-planar loudspeakers and tube amps: the Eminent Technology LFT-8b is a much better candidate for use with tube amps (especially OTL’s) than are Magneplanars. I love and have owned three pair of Mag... |
